This interactive session invites you to explore a unique digital exhibition showcasing artwork created by care-experienced young men in Deerbolt Prision, as part of Blue Cabin's and Nepacs' Creative Aid project.
Together with author and prison educator Andy West, and philosopher Grace Lockrobin (Co-Director of Thoughtful), we'll explore the philosophical approaches used to engage the young men in conversations about their artwork.
We'll delve into the themes emerging from the artwork and reflect on what it means to create art as a care-experienced person in prison.
As part of a wider conversation, we'll also examine some of the artists' own statements about their work and gather your responses, which will be taken back into the prison to continue the dialogue with the artists themselves.
Whether you're interested in art and philosophy, have a stake in care, prisons, or education, or are just curious, everyone is welcome to join this session.
